KEGG Spider: Interpretation of Genomics Data in the Context of the Global Gene
Scientists from Helmholtz Zentrum München have developed a breakthrough methodology for understanding metabolism related variations from experimental genomics data. Using proposed bioinformatics strategy they were able to demonstrate that in most cases identified disease-specific metabolism variations are not independent, e.g. deregulated genes from different pathways are linked to each other via one or two step of consecutive metabolic reactions.

Metabolic disturbances indicate progress of the disease even years in advance
Finnish scientists have reported a breakthrough in the attempts to understand the development of type 1 diabetes. They discovered disturbances in lipid and amino acid metabolism in children who later progressed to type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. The alterations preceded the autoimmune response by months to years.
